Part 7

"I refuse to go Kohano! I will NOT got to some human village with that inconsiderate traitor!" So Sesshoumaru was mature, but still young enough to through a tantrum.

"And if it was in my power to do so, trust me you would not leave the Western Lands.  Unfortunately I have no say in the matter Sesshoumaru," Kohano was just as mad if not more so than Sesshoumaru.  The battle-scarred youkai sank into the chair behind his dark oak desk.  Inutaisho was demanding Sesshoumaru come with him to visit his new wife, Saya.  When asked if he wished to claim his position as Lord of the West, Inutaisho only laughed and said why would he want to be reminded of his past? Insanity was the only explanation Kohano and Sesshoumaru could come up with. 

"He doesn't want to remember Kane, so why would he want to see her only son," Sesshoumaru said more to himself than his uncle.

"You've already had three years of training and have better fighting skills than most demons on this earth.  The only things holding you back are your pride and, at times, your honor might prolong your dreams.  But honor is the basis of good living as I'm sure you know.  If your father wishes for you to go, I cant stop him.  Humans are tolerable.  They wont bother you if you don't bother them, besides, most of them will fear you.  And you can talk to any of the other lords anytime you want."

"How? How can I speak with them immediately when we are more than a days travel away from one another?"

"Ahh, I was suppose to wait until you were older but I think this is a good time to how you."

 Kohano bent down and opened the bottom drawer of the desk.  Sesshoumaru had never seen what was in that drawer for it was always locked.  Kohano pulled an ancient looking key from a leather pouch and opened the lock.  The youkai pulled out a small mirror, like one the noble ladies would carry while traveling.  At first glance it looked like an old broken, dusty mirror.  But upon further inspection, one would notice the rim was made of the purest silver. Inu-youkai were carved into the metal with extraordinary detail.  Sesshoumaru took the mirror. 'But what did it do?'

"Every lord except your father has one," Kohano started, not knowing or caring what his nephew was thinking at the moment.

"And why doesn't he have one?  Not that I care or anything."

"Kane, your mother, suspected Inutaisho was starting to become disloyal to her, a crime itself within the youkai community.  She was very emotional for her race and wanted desperately to talk to someone at any given moment about her emotional state.  But she dare not tell the servants as everyone knows not to trust them.  So after studying many spells and consulting many sorcerers and priestesses, Kane invented these communication mirrors," Kohano explained.

"Impressive…but how do I use it?"

"Simply look into the mirror and speak the name of the one you wish to speak to"

"Thank you uncle. I-" but Sesshoumaru's thought was cut off by the sound of Inutaisho yelling for his son to hurry up.

"Sounds like its time for you to leave your home once again, I hope next time we meet there will be no…interruptions," Kohano stated mumbling the last part.

Chuckling to himself, Sesshoumaru embraced his uncle in a hug, and turned to leave.  Looking down at the object in his hand, he thought that maybe this communication thing might make things more enjoyable.  However a little voice in his head said he was still walking toward a living hell.
